About this boat

Working on scratch-built Vic Smeed design Vivacity from plans
All wood planks cut from white cedar on the table saw.

Need to find a neater way of cutting out the windows. On the sides.
I used a drill on the corners then went in with a Dremel tool cutting wheel. Still working on cleaning up the edges with a sanding stick.

Any suggestions on the best was to get accurate window outlines?

    All a question of the right saw blade in a clamping type handle, if stuck there is always the option of making something to suit, as per grinding down a hack-saw blade tapered to a point, and a couple of inches long, will suffice rather nicely. Of course, there is always the internet option of finding the right tool for the job at hand. Regards, Gary.

    I use a scroll saw but failing that you could use a coping saw and then sand to the lines. Using a cutting wheel is a bit awkward, especially with small windows and curves.
